NAME
       shishi_tkt_transited_policy_checked_p - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <shishi.h>

       int shishi_tkt_transited_policy_checked_p(Shishi_tkt * tkt);

ARGUMENTS
       Shishi_tkt * tkt
		   input variable with ticket info.

DESCRIPTION
       Determine if ticket has been policy checked for transit.

       The  application	 server	 is  ultimately	 responsible  for accepting or
       rejecting authentication and SHOULD check that  only  suitably  trusted
       KDCs  are relied upon to authenticate a principal.  The transited field
       in the ticket identifies	 which	realms	(and  thus  which  KDCs)  were
       involved	 in the authentication process and an application server would
       normally check this field. If any of these are untrusted	 to  authenti‐
       cate   the   indicated  client  principal  (probably  determined	 by  a
       realm-based policy), the authentication attempt MUST be	rejected.  The
       presence	 of  trusted KDCs in this list does not provide any guarantee;
       an untrusted KDC may have fabricated the list.

       While the end  server  ultimately  decides  whether  authentication  is
       valid,  the  KDC	 for the end server's realm MAY apply a realm specific
       policy for validating the transited field and accepting credentials for
       cross-realm  authentication.  When  the	KDC  applies  such  checks and
       accepts such cross-realm authentication it will set the	TRANSITED-POL‐
       ICY-CHECKED  flag  in  the  service  tickets  it	 issues	 based	on the
       cross-realm TGT. A client MAY request that the KDCs not check the tran‐
       sited  field  by	 setting  the  DISABLE-TRANSITED-CHECK	flag. KDCs are
       encouraged but not required to honor this flag.

       Application servers MUST either do  the	transited-realm	 checks	 them‐
       selves, or reject cross-realm tickets without TRANSITED-POLICY- CHECKED
       set.

RETURN VALUE
       Returns non-0 iff transited-policy-checked flag is set in ticket.
